In a recent episode of “The Late Late Show with James Corden,” a hilarious and unexpected mistake was made, leaving the audience in fits of laughter. The transcript reveals that during the show, James and his team experienced a mishap with the seating arrangements. Louis, a member of the crew, couldn’t be found on set because he was in a meeting. But, fear not, because they gained a new crew member, Lou, who happens to be the set designer responsible for all the glorious snacks seen on the show.
In the midst of the commotion, it was announced that there was a very special guest in the audience named Betty from Palm Springs, who had just celebrated her 100th birthday. The crowd erupted in applause for this amazing milestone. When asked if she had any advice for the rest of us, Betty simply responded, “Be happy.” A simple yet profound message that touched the hearts of everyone present.
Moving on to the news segment, President Biden‘s visit to Baltimore to speak with house Democrats was discussed. The humorous take on the retreat to plot their messaging strategy for the 2024 elections had everyone in stitches. Comparing it to something your best friend Beth would go on after receiving a text from her ex-boyfriend added a relatable touch to the story.
Another entertaining piece of news highlighted a bill circulating among house Republicans. This bill aimed to prevent representative George Santos from profiting if he were to be convicted of financial or campaign fraud. James couldn’t resist joking about not wanting to take away Santos’ appearance on “Dancing with the Stars” since he is a classically trained dancer who performed in the Royal Ballet.
The show didn’t stop there with the laughs. Dictionary.com made headlines as it added over 300 new terms, including “pet fluencer” and “hellscape.” James cleverly interjected, amusingly stating that adding new words is unfortunate for him as he still hasn’t finished reading last year’s dictionary. The term “rage farming” caught his attention, illustrating the act of intentionally provoking a political opponent to stir up outrage.
In one of the more lighthearted segments, it was revealed that the European Space Agency is advocating for an official time zone for the moon. James humorously expressed his support for this initiative, imagining the confusion of not knowing when his favorite show, “The Equalizer,” would come on once he moved there.
Wrapping up the show, the discussion shifted to a heartwarming story about David Mudge Williams, an Australian man who was crowned the world’s oldest competitive soccer player at the age of 79. The audience applauded his incredible feat, with James humorously pointing out that he is still younger than the president of the United States.
As the episode came to a close, James and his team reflected on their silliness and how they sometimes appear to lack knowledge on certain subjects. But despite their moments of confusion, the audience loves tuning in to the show for a dose of entertainment and laughter.
Although this episode of “The Late Late Show with James Corden” featured humorous mishaps and light-hearted news stories, it once again proved why it has become a favorite among talk show enthusiasts. With celebrities, entertaining segments, and James’ signature charisma, this talk show continues to captivate audiences night after night.
